Measles travel health advice

Yellow fever vaccination
Some countries require proof that you have received a yellow fever vaccination before allowing you to enter the country. You may be asked to present this proof before boarding your plane. Consult an embassy or consulate of your destination country in Canada for up-to-date information on its entry and exit requirements before you travel abroad.
Other countries may require you to have been vaccinated for yellow fever if you have passed through an area where yellow fever may occur.
Proof of yellow fever vaccination must be documented on an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis. You must carry the original certificate with you while travelling.
In Canada, you can only be vaccinated at designated yellow fever vaccination centres.
